Bisbee Copper Queen Hotel Weekend — Bisbee, AZ

Destination: Bisbee, AZNights: 2Group: 4–8Season: March, April, October, NovemberEstimated: $700–$1,300 per person

An old copper-mining boomtown a mile high in the Mule Mountains, ten minutes from the Mexico border — Victorian-era buildings stacked up the side of a canyon, a 1902 grand hotel where John Wayne kept a regular suite. Saturday opens with a queen-mine tour (donning the yellow slicker and headlamp) followed by a long browse through the Killer Bee Honey shop and the artist-run galleries on Main Street. Lunch at Cafe Roka, one of the most editorial dinners in the Southwest. Saturday night drinks at the Copper Queen Saloon (the bar is allegedly haunted — the Copper Queen ghost tour is a real thing). Decompression on Sunday with a drive across the border for breakfast in Naco, Sonora before the flight out of Tucson.

Questions

Is Bisbee actually liberal?
Wildly. It was a 1970s artist exodus from San Francisco landing in a then-abandoned mining town. Today it's roughly equal parts artists, miners' descendants, and weekenders.
How far from Tucson?
90 minutes by car southeast. Combine with Tucson + Saguaro for a 5-day stack.
Is the Copper Queen hotel really haunted?
The hotel embraces it — guest book of paranormal sightings at the front desk, ghost tour offered through the local visitor center.
